There is something really weird with the AI - it is super weak and in fact refuses to make captures until it's forced to.
I don't know if this is just because Tumbleweed is difficult for AI, or if there is something about the workaround that feeds info to the AI weirdly.
I like to think Tumbleweed is profound, but definitely not on a hexhex5 and not to the point where a semi-competent AI should miss obvious tactical principles. The AI has very low number of iterations. If I were to guess, I'd say it's probably checking the legality of a move is a bit bothersome, so this is probably not something that can be easily circumvented.
